But this will become more apparent in a few months, when the West’s deplorable response is compared to Asian countries in general.

I don't care about your background as a research scientist in molecular genetics.

I do care that China lied to the world over the seriousness of the virus. I do care that China blatantly manipulated their data to hide the sheer extent of the virus spread and deaths, which is abundantly clear to anyone with an iota of sense. I do care that China is clearly pressuring WHO to play both politics regarding Taiwan and to cook their own books over the number of positive cases and deaths. I do care that much of the supplies China sent to Europe turned out to be defective and unreliable (google the Dutch recall of 600,000 defective masks, and Spain and the Czech Republic discovering the Chinese tests were unreliable and defective).

PP you replied to.

Well, even after the pandemic, after it’s clear that China has much lower fatalities than the USA, even counting the many thousands that they are not divulging, you will still believe that it is the big bad wolf.

I agree with you that economically and politically China is our biggest threat.
But not for this pandemic. No one was prepared. Some countries reacted or are reacting better than others. The USA is not on the list of most responsible countries, and it’s not morally correct to point fingers at others when our response had been abysmally insufficient.

There's at least one poster who is trolling the Health and Medicine forum who is obviously not a native english speaker. They post frequently about COVID-related topics. I suspect that person started this thread, as well as these:

Why countries of these travelers did not screen their temperature? Why was the U.S. not doing that with people arriving from any part of China or Italy?

Are you being paid for this propaganda? English is clearly not your first language: what was your own country's reaction to the outbreak?

Or better put, China did the hard, difficult thing to save China first, then to give the World a fighting chance. Sure, there was hiding at the beginning, but U.S. hid it as well. And what did most of the West do? Stopped a few planes from coming in. Even in mid March people flew from Italy and had no screening, or from other parts of the world. We had no test, no hospitals, no masks and ventilators orders, in other words nothing. Now, U.S. will be the one to kill the world's population. Hurrah for democracy!

What is driving this narrative? China is no hero. Get a grip. Just because the West's responses sucked, doesn't mean China didn't suck too.

Nobody said China is a hero! Heck no. However, they did get it together pretty fast to stop the spread. We should have build facilitates in late January. We had 35 million masks in some parts that were not distributed. We are NOW building facilities, we had no test. I am frustrated that people just forgot these things. Yes, I think this is worth investigating, this utter failure and having the U.S. load bodies by lift forks into trucks.

What a clever talking point. Where did they teach you to propaganda-ate like tis.
A+ Ladies and gentlemen, read and learn. Propaganda at it's best.

I care about the fact that they allowed the wildlife food markets to stay open even after it was the source of previous outbreaks.

And they will continue to do so, and there will be more pandemics out of China.

Sounds like you think China is amazing. Why don’t you go there and buy a bat for dinner.

You're out of your mind, OP.

The West did not "hide" anything. The West was stupid and naive and did not connect the dots soon enough, to our own detriment. But this is 100% China's fault and I cannot wait to see the hell they're going to pay for it once this is over.

I care about closing Wuhan and most of the China but keep letting the planes full of people to fly in all directions.

I care about spraying cities and offices and having the medical workers wearing masks and glasses, and all kinds of personal protective equipment covering their bodies entirely but telling the whole world it does not propagate through the air.

No, it actually takes pretty big brain to cook propaganda.

x 1 million.

Overall, China handled this crisis well. Way better than the US has done.

I'm not sure why the love of China on this board.

The Asian countries responded in typical militaristic fashion.
